About PEECS

The Partnership for Early Engagement in Computer Science-High School (PEECS-HS) is a partnership between the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS), Howard University Departments of Computer Science and Curriculum and Instruction, Exploring Computer Science (ECS), and Google, Inc. The project is Funded by the National Science Foundation and Google CS4HS. The primary goals of the PEECS-HS program are to increase: 1) DC high school student exposure to computer science earlier in their academic careers to prepare them for computer science courses, undergraduate programs, and careers, and 2) the number of in-service DC teachers implementing the Exploring Computer Science course.
